Gil Marsh

(4) YA Despite an initial athletic rivalry, Gil Marsh and new kid Enko Labette soon become inseparable friends. When Enko dies from leukemia, devastated Gil runs away to Quebec to visit the grave and to seek a supposedly immortal man about the possibility of resurrection. The contemporary take on the legend of Gilgamesh is interesting, but the writing is heavy-handed at times.
